Abstract
The oxidative addition of (i) PhBr to SnR2 or Sn(NR′2)2, or (ii) BunCl to Sn(NR′2)2[R =(Me3Si)2CH, R′= Me3Si] is catalysed by a trace of the more reactive halide EtBr, and when tetrahydrofuran is the solvent, rather than C6H6, a larger proportion of the product is the SnIV-dihalide rather than the SnIV–1 : 1 adduct; the solvent effect is also shown in the [Pt(PPh3)3]–MeI system, and both catalysis (for Pt0[graphic omitted]PtII by azobisisobutyronitrile) and solvent effects are interpreted in terms of radical-chain processes.Keywords
